I work for home and garden network and would love to feature them on the show. Let me kknow! rwullschleger@highnoonentertainment.com

Tue, 30 May 2006 12:27:29 +0000http://inhabitat.com/blog/2006/05/27/illuminated-surfaces/#comment-1595Actually it does mean energy efficiency. The heat generated by most other types of lighting uses most of the electricity needed to power it, OLEDs dont emit heat thus no energy is lost. This means literally 100% energy efficient lighting, very cool stuff.

_Production_ effeciency, not energy efficiency.

Mon, 29 May 2006 16:19:46 +0000http://inhabitat.com/blog/2006/05/27/illuminated-surfaces/#comment-1565A LOT of universities and companies are working on OLEDs and several products such as MP3 players or mobile phones with OLED displays are on the market.
For general lighting purposes, cost will be a more important factor. Also, organic light-emitting materials are generally not stable in ambient (oxygen and humidity) and need to be encapsulated. A defect in the encapsulation layer will result in an ugly spot in the illuminated surface..

100% efficiency? Does that mean that the OLEDs, for instance, doesn´t leak any warmth?
